Answer Wiki:
Please define "file size". Are you looking for the storage allocated, the number of records, or something else? In all likelihood the Retrieve Member Description RTVMBRD command documented <a href="http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/systems/scope/i5os/topic/cl/rtvmbrd.htm">here</a> is what you're looking for, but I can't say for sure with the information provided.

I can’t use DSPFD TYPE(*ALL) with OUTPUT(*OUTFILE).

That’s because the different “types” of information each require a different output file format. Try using TYPE(*MBR) along with FILEATR(*PF).

If you’re looking for the actual size of the object, you’d be just as well off using DSPOBJD.
